FINALLY cleaned most of the worst Natter and This Troper and pseudo-Troper Tales out of /Nightmare Fuel/Animals. I think there may still be a few first person comments floating around in there, but I've got most of it, wiped most of the third and fourth level bullets and dupe entries, etcetera. Will go over it in a bit when my brain works again.

For those afraid to tackle the Nightmare Fuel pages themselves, plenty of wicks need to be redirected or removed, especially for High Octane Nightmare Fuel. Lots of YMMV pages at least need the High Octane portion removed.

It's easy to do if your browser has a find text feature (likely under the Edit section). If everyone did a few, we'd get the wick numbers down pretty quickly.

Ahh, /Cosmic Horror Eschatology And What Comes After was an easy cleanup. I wonder if someone else got to it before me and I just needed to change the page, which I did, or if the posters on here were more well-behaved than the ones on Animals re natter and this troper. If it's the latter, I want to congratulate them for saving my desk from having my head bashed into it.

If you come across an example written in first person and you can't figure out how to rewrite it, axe it. However, if it's as simple as deleting the last sentence or rewriting a few words, do that.

On that note, if you come across the horrible formation "no mention of X?" or "how about X?" or "how did we get this far without mentioning X?", kill it with fire. Rewrite that sucker.

There's no time limit on this, but if it peters out and comes back to the TRS for repairs later, I can't guarantee that Eddie won't get rid of it for being a pain in the ass like ANF.

All the Nightmare Fuel pages were nuked, not just Brawl in the Family. As I said upthread, if there's one you want restored, feel free to post here or PM me, and I'll restore it to the last version and unlock it if I can (not all can be restored, sadly). Please don't ask unless you plan to clean it, though.

Wicks on YMMV should be changed from ANF to NF or moved to the NF namespace, not deleted. If you see someone outright deleting them, report them here or on Ask The Tropers.

Once again, to move a page, check out How to Move a Page. It's really simple. Don't forget to ask to get the discussion page moved if it exists.

Cutlisting HONF subpages with less than 10 inbounds is fine, but it hurts nothing to make them a redirect.

Actually, if you make a HONF page a redirect to an NF page, you end up with two different tabs which have the same material on a work's page. Naruto, for instance. Can we get Eddie to kill the ANF namespace tab?
